Tea Party favorites Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann have used Obama's breastfeeding drive as a stick with which to beat her.

Bachmann began the onslaught by ridiculing the first lady's support for this week's decision to award tax breaks to mothers for the cost of breast pumps.

"I've given birth to five babies and I breastfed every single one of these babies," she told the conservative Laura Ingraham's radio talkshow. "To think that government has to go out and buy my breast pump for my babies. You wanna talk about the nanny state? I think we just got the new definition of nanny."

Palin waded in during an event with business leaders in Long Island. "It's no wonder Michelle Obama is telling everybody you better breastfeed your baby," she quipped. "Yeah, you better – because the price of milk is so high right now!"

7. Good point.
ann coulter once whined about the unfairness of an opponent actually having a noble cause - "we can't respond! We can't respond!" Yeah, boo-hoo, ann. Like you're so frickin' entitled to? You have to be able to respond to everything? Hey, do us all a public service and STFU! THAT'S the kind of "respond" we need from the likes of you.

5. They will both end up on the short end of that stick.
I've known a few LaLeche League Moms. The Grizzly and the Batshit crazy can't compare to the tenacity of a breast feeding Mom.

8. "Nanny State" accusations from the woman who wants ...
... to tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies, who they can and can't love/marry, which religious texts can/can't be in gov't documents, and what types of schools average citizens can send their kids to?

My, the hypocrisy is elbow deep from Ms. Bachmann ....

9. A friend was about to use her breast pumps at work
when the boss ran up -- "We've got a problem! You've got to go see one of our clients!"

She said, "I'll be on my way in fifteen minutes."

He said, "No, this is SERIOUS--you've got to leave NOW! Whatever you're doing, give to your assistant!"

She said, "I'm sure he'd jump at the opportunity, but no, I HAVE to do this myself!"

:rofl:
